New WordPress Install – not reading wp_posts data that I uploaded

    I backed up tables from a previous wordpress site and have uploaded that data via PHPMyAdmin. I verified that this wordpress install is pointing to the correct database. However, when I use WordPress, it is not finding my posts from the wp_posts table for some reason. I can query that table in PHPMyAdmin, but cannot get WordPress to read from it. I’ve done quite a bit of googling, verified the wp-config.php has the correct database name, and I’m not sure where to go from here. I appreciate you for any suggestions and assistance you can offer.

    Is the prefix on the tables the same prefix as specified in wp-config.php?

    Hi Steve,

    Thank you for getting back with me. That was the issue! I had wp_posts and wp_simoneysavers_composts, so I renamed both tables, with wp_posts being renamed to wp_simonesavers_composts and I see my posts now!

    I appreciate you for your help and time!

    I sure hope you did the same with the postmeta tables!

    I’m going through and doing that with all of my tables. My database had tables just with the prefix wp_ (like wp_posts) and then I noticed the wp_simoneysavers_com tables as you pointed out (like wp_simoneysavers_com_posts).

    Im working on this in my spare time so I havent finished yet.

    Thank you for the tip!
